Bury are still in the League Two automatic promotion hunt, but Gillingham must settle for a play-off spot after their goalless draw.

The Shakers' Glynn Hurst saw his early half-volley saved by Simon Royce.

That was their best chance, and Gills' top scorer Simone Jackson flashed a shot just wide of the far post after Curtis Weston put him through.

The hosts will feel they should have won after Stuart Lewis saw his powerful second-half volley hit the post.
